Abstract:
Stensen's duct is located at the anterior border of the parotid gland below the zygomatic arch. It crosses the area between the masseter muscle and buccal fat pad, opening opposite to the second upper molar teeth. Because of such anatomical association by the Stensen's duct, we should search for any injuries on the Stensen's duct when there is deep facial laceration. This paper reports on a case of parotid sialocele which was caused by laceration of Stensen's duct. For treamtemnt, we made an internal fistula to the oral cavity in order to drain the sialocele
